Exploring Glorantha - Episode 1: The Beginning

Join us for our premiere of a new show all about Glorantha with our hosts, JM and Evan. We begin this new show exploring what Glorantha is and why we love it. It is a setting of great depth that has captured the imaginations of many. Each new imagination captured but this rich world has inspired them to add to it and now you can begin the journey with us to add your own. Let us know what you're curious about, what you would like us to cover or share your stories with us! "Roleplaying activates a critical human process that has nearly been killed by over-rationalization and materialism. Roleplaying is a way for humans to interact with our deep, hidden mythological selves. They are a way to feed our souls."
